Spinal Muscular Atrophy Awareness Month - 2023

Spinal Muscular Atrophy Awareness Month takes place in August each year. It is a hereditary neurological illness that inhibits voluntary muscle action, leading to gradual muscular weakness and atrophy; thus, to increase awareness and support for people dealing with the illness, we commemorate Spinal Muscular Atrophy Awareness Month. Spinal muscular atrophy is a congenital condition in which the spinal cord does not form normally. This neural tube develops into the baby’s brain, spinal cord, and the tissues that surround it. Spinal muscular atrophy does not cause any impairments and does not manifest until later in life.To obtain further information please go SPINAL MUSCULAR ATROPHY AWARENESS MONTH -August 2023 - National Today.
